There are plans to make the compiler self-hoisting once it's more stable. The little bit of C used is just to turn on an option in the GHC runtime for profiling purposes. That would be replaced with some Java code to turn on an option in the Eta runtime if it were self-hoisting.

This is already possible with Frege.
